ISU was two deep at corner. However, you do realize if you are two deep at corner and you lose both starters you are bringing in someone outside the two deep every time you sub? It is an issue when you have to give someone a breather - it is a big issue if one of the new starters gets dinged up.
This isn’t exactly true. ISU was 2 1/2 deep, and that was because of injury.

Coop and Jontez were at the top, with a modest gap to Tre Bell (that was closing), a somewhat bigger one to Q (also narrowing) and another to Beni.

Take off the top two, and add Coffey—who was a close shot at #3 on camp—and you still have a two deep.

If the status quo remains the same, I wouldn’t be surprised if Coffey is starting in a few games. At this point, he needs game reps to catch up lost ground.

Watching the highlights from last year. Sorsby absolutely killed us on the QB Draw / QB option out wide. Hopefully we’re better adjusted this year but that has always seem to be a weakness in our defense. Kansas killed us last year with the QB option as well
You mean last year when we had no one left at Linebacker?

Hope we win so that we don't hear our podcasts and forum blaming losing our corners for the loss. If we are a team playing for the conference championship or playoff, we should be two deep at all positions except QB and kicker.
Jokes on you, we're three deep at kicker.

Beni hasn't even been a corner for a year. He may have a lot of potential, but no experience.

You are really reaching here.

Beni is not one of the top 4 corners. He's a stud athlete, but has a ways to go before he's ready to see the field. Eddie Lemos will see the field at corner this year before Beni does

Well like it or not he’s CB #4 right now. Lemos has been on the injury report for a while now. So Bell/Taylor with Coffey rotating in now that he’s healthy. Beni up next if needed!

Been keeping an eye on the ticket market for next home game. Are there a bunch of Mormons gonna be in attendance? The secondary market is higher than it was for the whiteout and it’s nearly sold out already.
I know a couple pretty well. Oh yes, they always bring a big contingent for football in particular. Always.

Am I wrong? I thought KCC was close to returning according to CMC. I see he is listed OUT for tomorrow.
